I am manually doing below task, which is mandatory in our secured environment.
I wonder to know it if is possible for having such report created from CMDB easily.
We have secured access to Internet Sites and every individual URL link must be requested, approved and documented.
There are currently many patchable vendors and products in PMS 7.5, and many of these have quite unique download paths.
I was searching through CMDB database, but did not find any table(s) containing that information.
Is that only in files downloaded by PMImport, or is that somewhere in CMDB and I missed that?
Since I did not find any better option yet, I do that manually, by "try-and-fail" approach:
I simply start downloading new bulletin, and when it fails, I manually record download path displayed by Download Wizard.
Then I request exemption for that update, and once approved (day or two) it can be downloaded via PROXY.
Since we are onboarding more and more products, it is becaming boring manual task.
I wonder to know if it is possible ot have report for all enabled products and download path (URL) for each one.
That would really simplify maintenance of these patch exemptions (External Link Requests).
